This weekend, the raven haired beauty attended the Rachel Pally fall collection celebration wearing a long black gown. Sure, black is the safe and often forgettable choice, but the burlesque queen showed us precisely how to make it truly memorable. Her trick? Loads of gold jewelry and a see-from-across-the-room red lipstick. Seriously, try it out! For your next night out, stack on some bangles and saturated gloss with your LBD or elegant maxi. You can't fail, we promise.
